The advantage of freeware and shareware is that it is free. It is possible to get some very good programs that way. Such programs include firefox and gmail. The disadvantages are that some programs that come that way come with Computer Viruses and Trojan horses. They infect your computer and take it over. They steal your credit card information. There is a lot of false information on the internet. It will cost money to have a virus removed from this particular computer! The voice of experience speaks.

How is freeware drifferent shareware?

Freeware is completely free. You can download it and use it forever without paying anything. If, after downloading and using shareware for a short time, you continue to use it, you are expected to pay the author for it. It has become, what I consider, a fraudulent practice nowadays for shareware vendors to make limited trial versions of their software, (limited time, limited features, etc.) and call it Freeware when it's just a severely crippled version of their shareware. So, it's become difficult to separate real freeware from the fraudulent ads.
